Sad to say I am a lazy mommy. I do not water. Rolling on the floor laughing So over water will never be my problem. My other CC and Easter Cactus are fine I have no problem. It usually starts to try to die after it blooms. It all of a sudden looks like it is trying to grow a brown trunk. So it gets brown and hard near the soil. Looks good above the brown then the green starts get brown. So it is like a upward browning disease. I lift it out and there are roots. Just hard brown moving up to take over and kill the plant disease.

It is the prettiest CC I have. I wonder if it is a weak breed thing. The blooms look different also the bloom as you can see seems to be more reflective than my other holiday cactus.


I think I purchased it at the grocery store because that is where I usually pick them up. After they are done blooming the grocery store put them on sale for a dollar.

Someone on a cactus forum suggested it might be a Thor I think that is what they said it might be.
